Now, television actress and Khatron Ke Khiladi fame Jasmine Bhasin has spoken about a horrific incident, where she was asked by a filmmaker to strip down during an audition! While taking to Times of India during an interview, Jasmine revealed the shocking details.

When Jasmine was working as a model five years ago, she went to meet a casting director for auditions. Though she didn't name the director, Jasmine said he was known for his Hindi and Gujarati films. Apparently, she sensed something was wrong as soon as she met him.

'To Extent Can You Go?'

Jasmine Was Briefed Something Else

She further added, "I told him I am not in the best possible shape to flaunt a two piece and the brief was given to me was that the girl's character is very different and I am not supposed to wear a bikini. I immediately left saying that my agency will get back to him and I will meet him again,".

Women Should Be Strong

"Sexual harassment exists can't be denied, but one needs to be strong. Girls should know how to work in their own conditions and not trust anyone, unknown, so easily. It is important to be courageous. This is the right time to take a stand and I am happy this is happening,"
